Revealed: Chevy Cruze

This is the Chevrolet Cruze, the firm's new small family sedan, which will make its first appearance at the Paris Motor Show in October.

The Cruze is the first in a line of new Chevrolets focused on fuel economy that will include the Volt electric car and an Aveo-replacing small city car based on the Beat concept. The Cruze will be built on Chevrolt's new Delta platform and will take the company in a new design direction with bolder styling cues.

The wrap-around headlights and new two-tier grille are key features of the car's
design, and likely to continue across future models. Other important design cues include a crisp rising waistline, compact rear and sweeping front-wing lines that help to make this small saloon one of the best looking in its class.

The Cruze will go on sale worldwide in 2009, and will battle it out globally against the likes of the Ford Focus and Honda Civic. Stateside, it won’t be a replacement for the Cobalt – at least initially, both models will share showroom space.
